The Indian mixed team took on Denmark in the opening tie of the group stage action at the 2025 Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China, on Sunday.
The tie started with the mixed doubles match, where the team captains, Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto, were in action. Following them, HS Prannoy and PV Sindhu took the centre stage in their respective singles matches.
The tie ended with a consolation win for India in the final match of the day in the women's doubles category, where it put a scratch pairing of Tanisha and Shruti, because of the injury withdrawals from Treesa-Gayatri.
